Maude was skinny. She was, as her friend Gabriella said, “in need of a good pasture”. It’s not that she was a cow! Of course not; it’s just a metaphor. She was in need of being fattened up in a verdant meadow.

And she did.

Polynesia (where I come from geographically speaking) regards plumpness as a thing of beauty (apparently). Personally I think some people over do it.
